Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

I currently work at AWS and this is true one of my coworkers got his promotion blocked because he hadn't been in 3 days a week (he had been going in 2 days a week). It was 100% an automatic process of denying his promotion.
That is fucked up. If the work is getting done, it shouldn't matter whether worker is doing it from home or office.
Clearly, subservience matters to them. If you don't lick the boot, you don't get promoted.
Yeah, it's really messed up. The work has been getting done and our team had done great with wfh, my manager and his manager don't want us to go into office but leadership higher up is forcing it.
